43 Harley Davidson flathead WL : la resto

Crédits : Vintage Cycle Service

Timelapse of 1943 Harley Davidson flathead WLA civilized after WWII in the 60’s & restored like civilian model (…by owner choice 🙁 …) by Vintage Cycle Service in Florence, Italy.
The bike arrived in the shop almost fully disassembled in box and with several chrome parts from an old wrong restore never really started. The owner decided to restore this bike as a civil model rather than in military version. In effect after the ww2 this is a very diffuse conversion for the many WLA that the American army have leave in Italy because the people was tired to see olivedrab everywhere…
I’m not very agree with this choice because now we are in different times and because i would have preferred to do the restoring like the original military condition if the bike was born in this version but that’s it…
